Re-Accreditation

Accreditation Period

Upon being awarded an accreditation at any level, the accreditation will be valid for a period of four years. The accreditation will expire on 31 December four years after the year in which the accreditation is gained.

   

Re-accreditation/Renewal

For an accreditation to be renewed at the end of the four year period the individual must have met the requirements as set out in Table below.

 

Renewal of accreditation is based on coaches being actively involved in at least two of the four years (Level 1) and three of the four years (Levels 2 and 3) for which the accreditation is current. Active participation means coaching at a minimum of 12 weeks in each of the two/four or three/four years of the accreditation period. This means that it is not possible to obtain an accreditation, not participate and still “claim to hold the accreditation”. Coaches who actively coach for one/two years of the accreditation period will have to prove they are still competent as detailed in Table below.

 

By successfully completing the accreditation requirements for the next level the original accreditation will be superseded. The four year accreditation period recommences at this time.

 

Coach Re-Accreditation/Renewal Policy

 

Automatic re-accreditation will be granted at all levels with coaches complying with the following:

  1. SmartRugby compliance
  2. Coaching for 2/4 (Level 1) or 3/4 years (Levels 2 and 3) of the accreditation, or Coach Educating at the appropriate levels as deemed in Table 1. If a Level 2 or 3 Coach only coaches for two of the four years and attends an Advanced Coaching Seminar (or equivalent) in their final 24 months before expiry they will qualify. Advanced Coaching Seminars must have a minimum of 12 hours of education to qualify. An accompanying letter from an individual’s club/school/Union confirming that the coaching criteria was met would be required.
  3. Completing the Laws and Safety Update and scoring 90%.
  4. Re-signing the Code of Conduct and returning to State Union office.

 

Coaches who do not comply with the above will need to successfully complete the following:

 

Level 1 Coach

1.  SmartRugby compliant

2.  Complete the Level 1 Law Theory exam and gain a minimum of 90%.

3.  Be successfully assessed against the Level 1 Assessment criteria statements.

4.  Sign the Code of Conduct form and return to State Union office.

 

Level 2 Coach

1.  SmartRugby compliant

2.  Complete the Level 2 Law Theory exam and gain a minimum of 90%.

3.  Be successfully assessed against the Level 2 Assessment criteria statements.

4.  Sign the Code of Conduct form and return to State Union office.

 

Level 3 Coach

1.  SmartRugby compliant

2.  Complete the Level 2 Law Theory exam and gain a minimum of 90%.

3.  Be successfully assessed against the Level 3 Assessment criteria statements.

4.  Sign the Code of Conduct form and return to State Union office.

 

­Coaches who do not qualify to be re-accredited against their accreditation level, may, at the State Coach Education Managers’s discretion be accredited at a lower level. For example, a coach who does not re-qualify at Level 3 (lack of coaching hours) may be re-accredited at Level 2, as long as the coach meets the requirements. The same applies for a Level 2 moving down to Level 1.

 

For most cases where this applies, the State Coaching Manager should consult with the ARU’s Coach Education Manager.
